Add external C library on Embbeded coder Simulink (for Xilinx "Zedboard" target Xilinx SDK) in S-Builder

Question

I'm currently working on a project to be implemented on a Xilinx Zedboard, using Simulink Embedded Coder methodology.

Now I have to build a block that connects to a database (via MySQL, using the C library). The problem is that I don't know how to specify the path for cross-compiling this simulink block after #include <mysql.h>, in the S-function Builder.

Answer 1

I did a similar block for sqlite3 but I wrote the entire S-function (I did not use the S-function builder). However, you need to link the lib file too (there has to be a mysql.lib file or some file with a similar name). You specify this link in the Library Pane from the S-function Builder dialog box.
